Christmas Eve

Well Christmas Eve came early for me as a nursing situation caused me to spend the night with Tracy again.  Let’s just say that I thought it would be best if I spent the night to make sure she was taken care of.

While Drew slayed dragons in Skyrim, I kept watch of Tracy.  I was able to doze off between nurses visits which were much more frequent as my concerns had been made known earlier.

About 4:30AM I decided it would be ok if I went back to the Inn to get some good sleep.  Both Drew and I slept until a little after noon.  After showering, we went to Tracy’s room to see how she was.  She was still sleepy, I wasn’t surprised, as see was awake most of the time I was there last night.  She was still trying to communicate with us, which was good to see.  I just we could understand her exact words, but you can tell she follows the conversations at times by her facial expressions and murmurings. 

Drew and I left to eat Bruchner (breakfast, lunch, dinner) at Denny’s.  Much to my dismay, Drew had never eaten there before.  So we finally had our first meal of the day at 2:30 in the afternoon.  Then it was off to Starbucks and back to the hospital to watch the Lions secure a playoff spot.

During the game we Skyped with Tracy’s sister Susan and family.  It was a good time seeing and speaking to them, they even got to see and say a few words to Tracy until Tracy murmured “I don’t want that on me”, which meant the camera on the computer.  So, Sue and Bill were forced to see me for the rest of the conversation.  Sorry guys. 

After that the Lions finished off the Chargers and are now in the playoffs for the first time in 11 years.  GO LIONS!

Drew and I then headed out for dinner, only to find out that everything was closed.  Drew then remembered the movie “Christmas Story”, and decided that we should try Chinese.  Guess what?  TK WU was open!  Fa raa raa raa raaa, raa raa raa, raaaaa. 

After dinner it was back to the hospital again.  However Tracy was asleep.  It was so quiet, I took this picture. 

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

So we headed back to the room to watch a movie. 

Got any guesses?

Merry Christmas and “Never Give Up… Never Ever Give Up!”
